Seems like a warped idea of justice. I hope he gets more appropriate sentences in his other trials.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Paul Manafort getting such little jail time for such serious crimes lays out for the world how it’s almost impossible for rich people to go to jail for the same amount of time as someone who is lower income.

In our current broken system, “justice” isn’t blind. It’s bought.

Ari Melber: Paul Manafort’s lenient 4-year sentence — far below the recommended 20 years despite extensive felonies and post-conviction obstruction — is a reminder of the blatant inequities in our justice system that we all know about, because they reoccur every week in courts across America

Ed Krassenstein: Hillary Clinton loses emails and Republicans chant “Lock her up”.

Donald Trump loses children and Republicans chant “Four More Years”.

If you still don’t think that this is some sort of sick, twisted cult, maybe it’s time to reevaluate your priorities as Americans.

Mara Gay: I’m angry. When a man who made millions undermining democracy gets a slap on the wrist, it’s hard not to think about the people who built this country, served in its wars, and were treated like common criminals every day of their lives because of the color of their skin.
